Fidgt
With the Fidg’t Visualizer, you can get a Heads-Up view of your social networks via tagging habits. You can see what kind of music your network is into, or what kind of pictures they are taking - all done from a engaging desktop application.
The Fidg’t Visualizer basically allows you to play around with the way you view your social networks. You interface with the Visualizer through Flickr and LastFM tags, using any tag to create a Magnet. Once a Tag Magnet is created, members of the network will gravitate towards it if they have photos or music with that same Tag.
This simple mechanic lets you visualize your Network in a unique way, demonstrating its predisposition towards certain things. What is more popular amongst people in your Network - rock or electronic music? Are photos of buildings more popular than photos of sunsets? Based on how your network reacts to those Tags, you might get an answer. The Visualizer also shows how your Network compares to a random sampling of the networks of other Fidg’t users, letting you see how your network stacks up to others?
I love this kind of stuff. The actual experience isn’t great in this instance, but the construct is interesting. It’s all about tags…
